In March 2018, the City Council of Fuenlabrada has published the “Fuenlabrada Antirumor Catalogue”, a guide with activities and games to fight against racism and promote intercultural coexistence in the city. The Catalogue has been prepared through a participatory process that has involved 16 civil society organisations. It was presented to the public by the mayor, Mr Javier Ayala, on the occasion of the Technical Conference of Municipal Awareness for Intercultural Coexistence.

The mayor explained that "in this catalogue each of the participating 16 civil society organisations has proposed activities and games that everyone can use to participate and work on a collective reflection about the prejudices on cultural diversity that exist and persist in the society."

The catalogue includes gymkhanas, role games, poetry, theater, detective games, and a list of municipal boards, municipal services and facilities of Fuenlabrada that work on these topics; in this way it is ensured that the anti-rumours work and activities reach out to the whole city and improve coexistence and social cohesion.

Fuenlabrada is part of the ICC and of the Antirumors network since 2013.
